    I've been hearing a little bit on the news about Bush wanting to invade Iraq. What the hell is this? Does anyone know of any news sites that have been covering this?

    Lately all I've been seeing are those miners that just got rescued. ***I haven't heard much about Bush and Iraq stuff.

    what was it someone here said a while back about "...we might have to fight fascism again..."? I almost wouldnt be suprised. Hes doing nothing more than trying to make himself look good by being all big and buff with the military backing him up.
    All my OFP missions can currently be found here. (All of them are the zip files. More to come!)

    Why? Iraq doesn't seem to be posing a very large threat. They know we will most likely win a war agasint them.

    guess who won the war against Iraq last time? that's right Bush Sr.!

    some republicans think that getting rid of Hussein is imperative, and was suspicious about Iraq's involvement in 9/11.

    so they are saying US should attack Iraq. good luck. second Vietnam if you ask me.

    I think we all need to realise that Iraq and So-damn Insane are just not all that much to worry about.

    Mr Insane is smart, but hes just a thug. And hes no mad man. He loves power, and he knows that if the US ever got hit by a major terrorist or otherwise attack by weapons of mass destruction, that he would be reduced to a few atoms and a puff of superheated wind. But because he kills some of his citizens and tries to take over his neighbors (no worse really than some of the regimes America has supported in Latin America), he makes a great pariah for American politicians to use to distract the American public. Talking about invading Iraq and kicking So-damn Insane's ass is the American governments version of "HEY! Look over there!!!". It makes a good story, gives the news networks something to discuss (so they wont have to resort to scandal hunting), and, best of all, there are no strings attached. You can call Mr. Insane a madman, say hes developing the dreaded WMD (figure it out), but you dont actually have to do anything- well, maybe blow up some poor dumb ragheads who were dumb enough to turn on their radar in the No Fly Zone, but thats all you have to do to distract America for a month or two. Its beautiful, aint it? The only thing that worries me is that Dubya may be stupid enough to make a commitment to a strong military relationship with So-Damn Insane (A relationship in the same way that the 'War Of The Roses was a relationship).

    I hope I cleared it up, if not, too goddam bad

    I dunno if it would be another vietnam. ***It was pretty easy last time we fought them. ***Then again we had an entire coalition.

    Bush Sr. had a good reason to attack Saddam. ***All Jr. has are suspicions. ***I mean, we haven't really turly finished in Afganistan yet. ***We should be taking things one at a time.

    _

    And Tex. We all basically know that already. Personally, I think we should get Clinton back

    in today's global community, conducting long-range battle is not easy, even with techno gadgets.

    last time, it was COALITION that won. US was able to use Saudi Arabia's bases, and others too. but if US tries to goto war with Iraq without good reason, then it's on its own and that means limited logstics route. and that is suicidal.
